"One of the most powerful Clos de Bèze reds I have tasted, with great ripeness, sweet, dried fruits, exotic spices, and firm tannins. So young that when served to me blind I guessed it to be only about 20 years old. There is great energy and intensity in this wine that reverberates through its long finish. Still at its peak, with plenty of life ahead; easily a f ew more decades. An impressive wine by Rousseau."
